Description
COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR SCAVENGING SULFIDES AND MERCAPTANS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a process for scavenging hydrogen sulfide from liquids and/or gas by use of metal carboxylates in combination with a solvating agent and emulsion breaker package as part of a multifunctional formulation. The formulations containing the inventive mixture have particular applicability in scavenging hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans yet at the same time prevent the formation of unwanted emulsions and/or deposition of unwanted by products often associated with using chemistries and/or formulations of the prior art.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The presence of sulfhydryl compounds and particularly hydrogen sulfide pose challenges in many industries. Their presence can create a significant health, safety and environmental challenge. There are many different types of sulfhydryl compounds, but the most commonly encountered molecules include hydrogen sulfide (H2S), organo-sulfur compounds containing S-H groups (also called mercaptans), thiol carboxylic acids RC(0)SH, dithio acids RC(S)SH, and related compounds.
In the oil and gas industry the H2S content of crude oil and natural gas in many areas of the world is high enough to present environmental and safety hazards. Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, corrosive, and highly toxic gas. H2S is the most reduced form of sulfur and is produced by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) that are often found in the anaerobic conditions encountered in oil reservoirs and is highly soluble in crude oil. As oil is produced, it is depressurized and the H2S is released and can then be transferred to, for example, oil based drilling fluid during the drilling process and this can become a hazard as the drilling fluid is recirculated from the well to the surface. During the production phase H2S gas can create a significant integrity risk where it is present at as little as >0.01 psig partial pressure as it is an acid gas and upon dissolving into produced water creates a very corrosive environment and requires to somehow be removed in order for the fluids to be safely processed.
The odor of sulfhydryl compounds is also a challenge in, for example, metal working environments, but equally in water treatment processes, either municipal (e.g. waste water treatment) or industrial (recycling of mining water). SRB are often present in the recirculating fluid systems, and though the bacteria can usually be controlled by the use of biocidal compositions, it is easy to lose control of the biology in the system which results in the production of hazardous H2S in the system. Furthermore biocides are inefficient at removing H2S after it forms and only anecdotally scavenge, via either oxidation (e.g. sodium hypochlorite application) or due to the release of low levels of aldehyde during their breakdown (e.g. with glutaraldehyde). Sulfhydryl compounds and particularly H2S can present environmental, toxicity and integrity challenges in gaseous phases in confined spaces, as for instance in sewage treatment facilities and particularly in shipping and storage containers for moisture sensitive materials that may emit H2S which can sit in the gaseous headspace. It would be desirable to have a scavenger that could reduce the H2S concentrations in such locations. It would be particularly advantageous to have such a scavenger that is active in the absence of an aqueous phase. Furthermore it is desirable to have a scavenger that does not produce unwanted by-products or form emulsions that can inadvertently contaminate the very systems they are treating. A number of methods have been proposed to scavenge hydrogen sulfide and control sulfhydryl odors in hydrocarbon containing systems: WO-98/02501 describes the use of bisoxazolidines prepared by the reaction of 1, 2 or 1, 3 amino alcohols containing 3 to 7 carbon atoms with aldehydes containing 4 or fewer carbon atoms. The relative oil and water solubility of these products can be controlled through the correct choice of starting materials. These bisoxazolidines react with sulfhydryl compounds present in oil and gas streams to neutralize and therefore scavenge them. EP-A-2650314 teaches the use of a copolymer, comprising a) 0.1 to 10 mol-%, based on the weight of the copolymer, of structural units derived from vinylphosphonic acid or of a salt thereof, b) 40 to 80 mol-%, based on the weight of the copolymer, of structural units derived from compounds of the formula (1)
c) 1 to 50 mol-%, based on the weight of the copolymer, of structural units derived from compounds of the formula (5)
in which X is OH or NR3R4, and R3 and R4, independently of one another, are H or Ci-C4-alkyl, for the inhibition and/or dispersion of inorganic sulphide scales. US-6239081 teaches a water-based drilling fluid which comprises at least one alkali metal carboxylate and at least one soluble boron compound. It further relates to the use of boron compounds in drilling fluids which comprise alkali metal carboxylates to decrease the corrosivity of these drilling fluids. US-5347004 teaches the use of reaction products of alkoxyalkylene amine, ammonia, and dialkylamines with aldehydes. These products are used to remove H2S from gas streams which are sparged into water solutions of the products.
There are multiple patents published in the art that teach the use of triazine chemistry for the control of H2S in the oilfield environment. US-4978512 teaches a method for reducing H2S and organic sulfides from gaseous and/or liquid hydrocarbon streams by using a reaction product of a lower alkanolamine comprising 1 to about 6 carbons with a lower aldehyde comprising 1 to about 4 carbons. A preferred embodiment is the reaction product of monoethanolamine and formaldehyde which is perhaps one of the most ubiquitously used triazine chemistries in the oil and gas industry today to scavenge H2S. US-5128049 teaches a unique application method for scavenging agents whereby a dilute solution of a scavenging agent, such as triazine, is injected into an H2S containing fluid, followed by equilibration and a second injection of dilute solution of scavenging agent to further reduce the H2S content of the treated fluid. EP-0636675 teaches the further use of a scavenging compound comprising a substantially formaldehyde free 1,3,5-trimethyl-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine to scavenge gas or liquid hydrocarbon streams containing H2S and/or mercaptans. The compound described is preferably prepared by the reaction of methylamine and formaldehyde. US-8512449 teaches a method for formulating an oil-soluble triazine sulfide scavenger comprising a liquid sulfide-scavenging composition comprising from about 25 to 80 % by volume of a triazine, from about 15 to 50 % by volume of a glycol ether, and from about 5 to 40 % by volume of an alcohol, with a maximum water content of about 15 % by volume, and being oil soluble. The triazine used is a reaction product of a C1 to C6 alkanolamine and a C1 to C6 aldehyde, where the C1 to C6 moiety in each instance is a straight or branched chain alkyl group. WO-2014/031537 teaches the use of an aldehyde releasing compound, preferably hydantoins, to remove sulfhydryl compounds from hydrocarbon fluids. US-3928211 describes the use of inorganic zinc salts (most preferably zinc carbonate) preferably dispersed into aqueous or non-aqueous oil well drilling fluids with an organic dispersant such as lignin containing materials. US-4147212 teaches the use of a water soluble zinc ammonium carbonate complex used to remove hydrogen sulfide from oils and gases by contact with aqueous solutions of the complex. US-6599472 discloses the use of metal salt carboxylic acids that are soluble in hydrocarbon oils and are used to inactivate odor producing sulfhydryl compounds. Preferred embodiments are zinc neodecanoic acid but equally claimed are carboxylic acids of naphthenic acids, neoacids, isoacids and Guerbet acids and mixtures thereof. WO-2014/130503 teaches the use of zinc carboxylates, preferably zinc octoate or zinc 2-ethyl hexanoic acid in combination with viscosity improver selected from the group consisting of glycol ethers having from about 4 to about 15 carbon atoms, and/or alkyl alcohols having from about 1 to about 10 carbons, and/or with additional hydrocarbons from about 7 to about 30 carbons. The resultant formulations are used to scavenge hydrogen sulfide gas. WO-2013/181056 teaches the synergistic hydrogen sulfide scavenging obtained when use of a metal salt, preferably selected from zinc chloride, zinc acetate, zinc octanoate, and zinc salts containing at least one hydrocarbyl group of at least 4 carbon atoms in combination with an oil soluble amine formaldehyde reaction product (triazine). US-2015/0025258 discloses the use of particulate zinc oxide salts blended in a mixture of two or more carboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, oleic acid, isobutyric acid, lineoleic acid and neodecanoic acid, for the scavenging of hydrogen sulfide.
The object of the invention was to provide formulations which can be used for scavenging of sulfhydryl compounds in crude oil, preferably, but not limited to H2S and/or mercaptans. The formulations of the invention should have particular applicability in scavenging sulfhydryl compounds and should be notable for improved performance compared to the formulations and chemistries of the prior art.
It has been found that a ternary composition that comprises a metal carboxylate, an organic solvent and an emulsion breaker molecule will scavenge sulfhydryl compounds very effectively, while at the same time not induce any emulsion challenges due to the precipitation of insoluble byproducts. Deposits of sulfide scales can be a significant challenge during the use of metal carboxylate scavengers. Typically carboxylates of zinc are used which results in the deposition of ZnS. This can create significant challenges as ZnS is highly insoluble and can create flow assurance challenges due to blockages in pipes and process equipment as well as exacerbate water in oil emulsions and therefore dehydration of the crude oil.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a composition, useful as a sulfhydryl scavenger for application in oilfield operations, comprising 1. ) a metal carboxylate, wherein the metal M is selected from the group consisting of Ag, Cn, Hg, Pb, Sn, Ni, Co, Ca, Fe, Zn and Mn, those metals being present as ions in a +2 or +3 charge state, and wherein the carboxylate anion is derived from a hydrocarbyl monocarboxylic acid having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, or a mixture of such acids, 2. ) a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, glycol ethers having from 4 to 15 carbon atoms, alkyl alcohols having from 1 to 10 carbons, and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents having from 6 to 30 carbons, and 3.) an emulsion breaker which is a polymeric nonionic surfactant.

In group 1, the carboxylates are the ones of the metals Ag, Cn, Hg, Pb, Sn, Ni, Co, Ca, Fe, Zn and Mn in their +2 or +3 charge state which means that the metals are present as respectively charged ions.
The compounds of group 1 comprise oil soluble sulfhydryl compound scavengers which in a preferred embodiment are salt compositions of the formula (1)

All viscosity measurements were performed at STP using a Brookfield viscometer and a constant rotational speed and spindle type.
The formation of low melting salts typically requires that the carboxylic acids used to synthesize the final product have highly branched structures. Examples of suitable acids include: 1. Neoacids of the formula (2)
(2) wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each independently alkyl groups containing 1 to 16 carbon atoms, with the total number of carbon atoms contained in R1, R2, and R3 being from 3 to 18.
Readily available and suitable neoacids include, but are not limited to, neopentanoic acid, neoheptanoic acid, neooctanoic acid, neononanoic acid, neodecanoic acid, and neotridecanoic acid.

It is to be understood that the amount of metal carboxylate in the composition in relation to the solvent may vary in some embodiments depending upon factors such as temperature, time, and type of metal carboxylate. For instance a higher ratio of metal carboxylate to solvent may be used if a faster reaction time is desired.
Group 3
This group comprises emulsion breakers, or demulsifiers or non-emulsifiers. The purpose of having these compounds present is to prevent the formation of emulsions caused by the reaction products of metal carboxylate from Group 1.
The metal carboxylate reaction product with sulfhydryl compounds is the corresponding metal sulfide. These metal sulfides are highly oil wetting and as a result they are attracted to the oil/water interface and cause emulsion stability. The purpose of the demulsifier molecule is to break the oil/water emulsion by creating a preferentially water wet surface on the metal sulfide and also to modify the surface tension at the oil/water interface which is stabilized by the metal sulfides to one allowing coalescence of the emulsion.

The alcohol may include any alcohol suitable for use with oil recovery and for dissolving the polymeric nonionic surfactant and is preferably selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol or any combination thereof.
Group 4
The addition of a further hydrogen sulfide scavenger serves a two-fold purpose. Firstly it scavenges any residual H2S not scavenged by the Group 1 components, and secondly, there may be a synergy created in scavenging in terms of rate of H2S uptake.
Additional scavengers that can be included in the formulation include triazine compounds, described by the formula (7):
(7) wherein each R9 is independently selected from the group consisting of C1 to C20 straight or branched alkyl groups, or -R10OH, where R10 is a C1 to C20 straight or branched alkylene group. Preferably, at least one R9 group is a C1 to C20 straight or branched alkyl group and at least one R9 group is -R10OH.
Further, the scavenger can be selected from a range of hemi-acetal compounds, described by the general formula R11R12C(OH)OR13 wherein R11, R12 or R13 are hydrogen and/or Ci to C20 straight or branched alkyl group. In a preferred embodiment, R11, R12, R13 all are C1 to C20 straight or branched alkyl groups.
Further, the scavenger compound may be selected from hydantoins.

Group 5
Scale and/or corrosion inhibitors may be added to the target system separately and/or in association with the compounds described in group 1,2 and 3. The addition of these Group 5 components serves to add functionality to the overall product.
Adding a scale inhibitor can prevent either the deposition of unwanted solids that may result from mixing of incompatible waters. Furthermore, the reaction of metal carboxylates with sulfhydryl compounds very often leads to the precipitation of insoluble sulfide scale, for example the reaction of zinc neodecanoate will inevitably lead to the precipitation of highly water insoluble zinc sulfide.
The corrosion inhibitor serves to reduce the overall corrosivity of the treatment, protecting the tubulars and production equipment that oilfield fluids into which the instant invention is deployed into.

EXAMPLES
In the whole specification, all references to percentages are meant to be weight percent relative to the respective whole composition, except if noted otherwise.
Example 1: Scavenger performance
In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the instant invention in removing sulfhydryl compounds as exhibited by components comprising Group 1, testing was performed focusing on removal of H2S from an oil/water mixture. All testing was performed at 117 °F (47 °C) by sparging 200 ppm and 1,000 ppm H2S gas (in a nitrogen matrix) at 0.15 liters per minute through 300 mL of oil (Eagle Ford condensate) and water (in a 50:50 volume ratio of oil to water) while magnetically stirring at 400 rpm. Five different dose rates of the various scavenger chemicals tested were added to the oil/water mixture at 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 mg/L.
Efficacy was determined as the time required to measure the same concentration of H2S exiting the test fluid than that entering, i.e. the time required for the scavenger to be 100 % spent and loaded with H2S. The longer the time the more efficient the scavenger. The results have been summarized in Table 1.
Table 1: H2S scavenger efficiency testing of components that comprise the instant invention and comparative examples from the prior art
The inventive formulation of example 8 was as follows: 75 % zinc-neodecanoate, 24.3 % heavy aromatic naphtha, 0.3 % of DDBSA (as described in formula (6)), 0.2 % Nonyl acid catalyzed resin with up to 5 mol ethylene oxide (EO) per OH group and an approximate molecular weight of 3,500 g/mol as described in formula (5), and 0.2 % Group 5 Copolymer (58 % AMPS, 38 % Acrylic Amide, 2 % n-Vinyl Formamide, 2 % Vinyl Phosphonic Acid).
It can be seen that all the triazine compounds that comprised comparative examples 1 (C), 2 (C), and 3 (C) performed very similarly. Comparative examples 4 (C) and 5 (C) performed better than the triazine examples but the raw scavengers of this instant invention in examples 6 and 7 outperformed the comparative examples in terms of H2S loading efficacy.
Example 2: Viscosity profiles
The purpose of this testing was to determine the effect that Group 2 components had on the viscosity of compositions of the instant invention. Viscosity was measured using a Brookfield viscometer at a constant of 71 °F (22 °C) and ambient pressure. The results have been displayed in Table 2.
Table 2: Viscosity measurements of the instant invention and comparative examples
The inventive formulation of example 13 was 1 as follows: 75 % zinc-neodecanoate, 24.3 % heavy aromatic naphtha, 0.3 % of DDBSA (as described in formula (6)), 0.2 % Nonyl acid catalyzed resin with up to 5 mol ethylene oxide (EO) per OH group and an approximate molecular weight of 3,500 g/mol as described in formula (5), and 0.2 % Group 5 Copolymer (58 % AMPS, 38 % Acrylic Amide, 2 % n-Vinyl Formamide, 2 % Vinyl Phosphonic Acid).
In Table 2 MEG is monoethylene glycol, 2-BE is 2-butoxyethanol, and HAN is heavy aromatic naphtha. It can be seen that viscosity can be dramatically reduced by adding relatively low amounts of solvent compared to the two comparative Group 1 examples. The most effective Group 2 components to add to the Group 1 components for viscosity reduction were heavy aromatic naphtha and/or toluene.
Example 3: Emulsion testing
It is well known to one skilled in the art that solids in an oil/water mixture can cause significant emulsion stability especially if those solids are liable to oil wet and sit on the oil/water interface. This is the case with zinc sulfide and as this is a reaction product of preferred embodiments of the instant invention, the test work presented here shows how Group 3 emulsion breaker components assist with the resolution of emulsions caused by use of the Group 1 components.
The testing was performed using the standard bottle test, well known to one skilled in the art. This involved taking 100 ml_ of different ratios of crude oil and synthetic brine in a prescription bottle and agitating them on a mechanical shaker in order to induce emulsions. All tests were performed at a temperature of 140 °F (60 °C) and separation observed for 10 minutes. For tests that contained ZnS, the ZnS was added as a substance in a known concentration. The time taken for emulsion resolution was recorded as water drop rate, crude oil dehydration and interface quality. Water drop rate is the rate at which water volumetrically separates from the crude oil. It is desirable for this to be as quick as possible, achieving a maxima in under 5 minutes is more desirable in oilfield operations. The crude oil dehydration is measured as base sediment and water % (BS&W %) which in this test is the water content that remains in the oil at the end of the test. This gives a secondary indication of performance because while water drop is one desirable feature of a good demulsifier, the remaining water left in the crude oil is ideally <2 %, more desirable is <1 %. Finally the quality of the interface is important. A clean interface, i.e. a very uniform layer existing between the oil and water, rather than a baggy, or inhomogeneous interface is most desirable. This is because the way oilfield separation process equipment works requires a clean interface to be most efficient. These tests were performed using comparative components and preferred embodiments of the instant invention to show how inclusion of Group 3 components significantly enhanced the resolution of emulsions and that examples from the known art cause substantial challenges with respect to emulsion formation. The results have been summarized in Tables 3 and 4 which show formulations and performance data respectively.
Table 3: Formulations tested for emulsion resolution
Table 4: Emulsion resolution testing of the instant invention and comparative examples
1 The remainder of the 100 % is brine
It can be seen that the presence of ZnS in the oil/water mixtures causes separation issues via emulsion formation. The presence of small concentrations of emulsion breaker bases helps to resolve these emulsions, in Example 5 which is a preferred embodiment of the instant invention, a formulated emulsion breaker package was used to show how complete emulsion resolution can be obtained that could be used as a field solution in order to resolve the challenges caused by the prior art examples.
Example 4: Breakdown product inhibition A further preferred embodiment of the instant invention is to inhibit the formation of undesirable solids. An example is the inhibition of ZnS solids caused by the reaction of preferred embodiments from Group 1 with H2S. Preferred embodiments from Group 5 were included with a preferred embodiment formulation comprising components from Group 1,2 and 3 and tested for inhibition of undesirable solid formation.
The various formulations were tested at various concentrations in a 50:50 oil/water mixture (as described in Example 1). At the end of the test the total fluids were filtered through a 0.45 pm filter and the solids captured weighted and characterized. A high amount of solids measured indicated poor inhibition of ZnS, and the composition confirmed using x-ray diffraction. The results of this testing has been summarized in Table 5 and 6 which show the formulations tested and performance of these formulations respectively.
Table 5: Formulations tested for ZnS solids deposition potential
Table 6: Results of ZnS solids deposition control
It can be seen that the amount of zinc sulfide byproduct formed upon sparging through excess H2S in the comparative examples is significant when compared to the inventive example number 6 which shows clear dispersion of ZnS solids.
